Silicon uptake in rice and cucumbers

The study of silicon uptake in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Ml02) revealed an energy dependent, carrier-mediated system of silicon transport. This uptake system saturated at approximately 2 mM external Si and displayed a Vmax of 18.5 umol.g root-1.h"1 and a Km of 0.578 mM. Transport was found t...
